When this oversized dupioni silk fabric was hanging on a rod until it started to disintegrate our client brought it in and asked how we could frame it so they could still enjoy it's beauty while preserving it from further decay. We hand sewed along the top seam line to a cotton fabric in a coordinating color which we then stretched over an acid-free foamcore board. To keep it lightweight we used plexiglass with 99% UV protection and a non-glare coating to protect it from fading. The frame is a contemporary flat face with a light tan line on both the inside and outside edge.

 

Commemorating two different years of participation in the Boston Marathon. The poster is made up of all the participants names in teeny tiny white letters, this side shows the wife of our client's name. This made for a great birthday present! The poster is ultra preserve mounted on to a reverse bevel cut backing and then it and the bib numbers were floated on top of a dark gray matboard with spacers under Conservation Reflection Control Plexiglass and framed in a 1 1/8" inch black contemporary frame.
